Looking at Intel's New-ish Desktop Socket, LGA 1366
Slatterz writes "LGA 1366 is Intel's first new desktop socket in four years. It uses the same ZIF design as the familiar LGA 775 architecture, but it incorporates many more contacts. These big architectural changes are backed up by some less visible advances. Until now, Intel's quad-core processors have been constructed from two dual-core dies, but now Core i7 brings together four cores on a single die. It's also Intel's first processor design to use an L3 cache, shared between all four cores."
...but c'mon.
One that hath name thou can not otter
This might have been news 7 or 8 months ago when the chips were released.
What's next? ATX Power Supplies Explained? "Plugs into any ordinary wall socket! Flick the switch and it turns on! Use it to power your computer! You'll see them turning up in shops any day now!"

...1366 over 775 = 76% better!
Bigger number! Woo-hoo! With the POWER of MATHS I can tell you
Reminds me of when I upgraded my disposable razor from one with 3 blades to 4 FREAKING BLADES!!!11!1
I get 33% more hot babes now.. FUCK YEAH
(Yeah, yeah, 33% of 0....)
Uh...Regard that, I suck cocks?
Those who advocate genocide deserve every protection afforded by law, and none afforded by common human decency.
About time they copied HyperTransport! If I remember correctly AMD had a leg up on Intel for a few quarters in the multi-core war because of HyperTransport.
LGA 1366 is intended for servers, workstations, and high-end gaming PCs. LGA 1156 will be the mainstream
desktop socket.
What's the difference? IIRC, LGA 1366 has a tripe-channel memory controller and support for dual CPUs (via another QuickPath link). LGA 1156 has dual-channel memory support with support for only one CPU.
The desktop CPU for LGA 1156 will be called Core i5.
And I thought Australia was 12 hours ahead of us!
Kittens are kinda awesome.
Everyone thinks this article is announcing news that's 6+ months old, but really it's just an April Fool's joke that's 2 months old.
A picture of the socket instead of the chip would have been helpful.

I'm afraid ATX supplies won't be needed when the new wireless platform that never needs to be charged is released.
Finally had enough. Come see us over at https://soylentnews.org/
Try this.
Since the soft power pushbutton goes through the OS, you can be stuck there with a computer running and no way to turn it off but pull the power cable. Not having an actual switch on the power supply is frustrating.
I thought myself, "what the fuck, why am I paying 32 euro for a couple of razor blades!" and I bought the cheap generic brand 2 blade stuff.
OUCH! Not saying it cut my face, it didn't but there really is a HUGE difference between the "quality" 5 blade razors and the cheap 2 blade kind. It is a smooth shave versus having the hair torn from your face.
Crybaby you might say, or I might just have had a really bad 2 blade razor but still. I ain't going back again.
So if you got a baby soft skin and a 5 o'clock shadow, then more blades are actually a good thing. Or maybe just really sharp blades.

just one x16 link and a slow dmi link is too small
as 1 / 2 video cards cards will eat up the x16 link. Making sound / ide / sata / network / system and bios IO / other pci-e slots / firewire / usb all share the slow DMI link or force MB makers to put pci-e switches (driving costs up) one the x16 link.
AMD wins aging all cpus use HT driving MB costs down as well letting the same MB run low and high end cpus.
I'm posting anonymously coz the question might appear too stupid.
Can someone explain in simple scientific terms how did it happen?
How did the man 'burst' when he touched the HV lines above him?
Then they mod you down. Eau de irony.

Holy hell.. This is clearly proof that the Gene Pool is in serious need of a fungicide.

The heat generated when the electricity passed through his resistive tissue caused the water in his cells to boil. The cells couldn't contain the steam and burst.
I have noticed that motherboard prices for higher-end AMD Phenom systems seem to be a lot lower then MB prices for Intel I7 systems. AMD's high integration approach seems to be paying off there. The only real issue seems to be AMDs lack of support for larger 16G memory configurations in its desktop line.
The whole-system price for a Phenom X4 system (using e.g. A Shuttle SN78SH7 as a base) is less then $600. Every year it seems I can buy a cheap off-the-shelf barebones system and completely replace several of the previous year's servers, if not for the HD performance requirements. The biggest constraint for ALL of my machines, these days, is HD performance.
On the storage and performance front I think the addition of external ESATA connectors to base motherboards may actually be the more important change. Manufacturers made the same mistake with direct, native NAS that they made with SCSI... they blew it by keeping prices ridiculously high. It is the same thing that allowed SATA to take over much of the consumer and mid-sized business markets from SCSI over the last few years. Now NAS has been relegated to having to compete directly with high-level protocols like NFS and is getting squeezed into a smaller niche. Firewire has become standardized too but could never break into the HD market as a native connection standard. The end result is that ESATA is likely to consolidate and become *THE* connect standard of choice for external storage subsystems.

His body starts burning almost immediately. Does that means all the liquid content of his body is evaporated?
I find it strange and weird. His body starts burning a while after he isn't touching the HV lines anymore.
Why are we looking at it?
So quit your whining already.
